A Final Effort.

Mr.. William b. Cluverius, who has
worked so hard and with commcndabl.
devotion for his brother, the condemned
murderer of Miss Fannie Lillian Madi
son. has sent the following circular to
the various members Of the Legislatures:
"RIcHMoND, Va, Dec. 20. 1886.
DEAR SIR: l address you in behalf Of
my brother, II. j. Cluverus, whose cir
cumstances are we'll known to eyerv ono
in the State. 1t has been suggested to
inc that his life might be saved through
action by the Legislature ir some wav,
as coordinate department of the gov
crnmcnt, since many members of that
body have expressed their conviction
that his life should not be taken. have
heard that the Legislature will certainly
be called together about the first of
FEBRUARY next. My object in addressing
you is to make the request that you send
to me an application, addressed to the
Governor from yourself, requesting him
to grant reprieve to my brother until
some day after the Legislature shall
meet in order that they may have an op-
portunity of taking action, if deemed
right and judicious. The day fixed for
the execution is the 18th of January.
aud | should like a response before tho
5th.
Il will not undertakc,.to urge the rca-
sons in favor Of this request or to make
suggestions as to what action can be
taken. | leave both to your intelligent
appreciation of facts known to all.
'This request will make of all the
members of the Legislature, or 80 MANY.
at least, as can reach, and will leave
their action to their own sense ofjustice,
and fairness, and to their desire that the
laws Of the State shall be equally and
properly executed, and fair trial had
by an impartial jury-a right guaranteed
to every man.
My address is Ford's Hotel, in this
city.
Very respectfully,
"W. B. CLuyER1us."
This final effort of Mr.. Cluverius to
save his brothers. life is natural, but it
must be abortive under any circum-
stances. Ever should the Governor re-
spite the condemned man, and call an
extra session Of the Legislature, nothing
could be done for him. The Legislative,
executive and judicial departments of
the State Government are seperate, dis
tinct and independent. The Legislature,
therefore, could not interfere with the
action OF the courts, nor could it pass a
law to pardon Cluvcrius, since the par
doning power belongs exclusively to the
Executive. 1t could not even pass a law
making it illegal to hang man who had
not testified in his own behalf, that
would not apply to the case of Cluverius.
since such law would be er post tacto,
and so, unconstitutional, null and void.
There is nothing, then, in this idea Of
Legislative interference in behalf Of the
doomed man. From present appear
ances, nothing short Of miraculous in
terposition can save him from the gall
lows two weeks from to-morrow.-Rich-
maoad Whig, Dec. 81.

Our citizens were siiooked to hear that
Johnny Wilson, one OF the owners Of the
Ora Plata mine, had committed suicide
at Red Bluff, in California. by shootiDgl
himself in the head. Mr.. Wilson %as u
yonng man OF great promise, possessed Of
more than his share OF worldly wealth,
and unmarried, and his best friends are
entirely at loss to account for the ACT
which ended his mortal career so sudden
ly. In his death Mohave county loses
one of those who had firm faith in our
mining interests and who was not afraid
TO back up that faith with his money.
His visit 70 California was for the purpose
OF purchasing machinery to work the ores
OF the Oro Plata and Mariposa mines on
the ground, and would have resulted In
the erection of mill or smclter.

TURKEY IN A PICKLE.

The Sultan's Peck of Trouble Over the
EGyption OuestiOn-Between Two Fires.
LONDON, June 27.-Sir James Ferguson,
under secretary for foreign affairs, an
nounced in the House of Commons, this
afternoon, that Turkey had urgently
asked England to consent to a post
ponement until the 4th Of July Of the
formal ratification of the Anglo-Turxish-
Egyptian convention, and that England
had consented. This was the day for
the ratification Of the convention. 1t is
understood that the request Of the
Sultan for further time is due
to the fact that the French
government sent a note TO the Sultan in
which It distinctly refuses to accept the
situation which viii result from the
signing Of the Egyptian convention, and
SAYS that if the convention be ratified
France viii take measures necessary to
protect her interests, which will be en-
dangered by the disturbance Of the
equilibrium Of the Mediterranean. On
the other hand it is stated, France offers
formal assurance that she will protect
and guarantee the Sultan against what
evercOnsequenCes may result If he will
refuse TO ratify the convention, By so
doing, the note says, the Sultan viii
strengthen the ties Of friendship be-
tween France and Turkey and protect
bis country from the encroachments
and ambition Of England. 1t is rumOred
that the Russian troops are advancing
from hars as a menace to Turkey.

part of the territory, and the bitter feel
ing toward its claimants is growing
stronger daily. Threats are heard on
every hand, and plans are developing to
resist the enforcement of the ruling of
Williamson. 1t is proposed to make
final effort to have the ruling reversed,
and mass meeting of the settlers will
be held at this place on August l when
the matter will be discussed. The inter
ests of the settlers have been placed in
the hands of a committee. To-day the
following call. headed, shoulder Arms,
Forward March % has been issued by
the committees:
SETTLES: The so-called Maxwell
grant is public domain. 1t was thrown
open to settlement and entry as public
land in 1874 by the final and authorita-
tive judgment of the secretary Of the in
terror. This final Judgment settlers, has
never been reversed. For several years
II has been treated for contempt by
spectators and corrupt officials, but it
has never been reversed. Commissioner
Williamson, after the secretary had pro-
nounced the judgment of the land de-
partment final, could not reverse that
judgment. The supreme court did
not dare say in its printed de-
CisiOn, although the matter was
brought to its attention, that Commits
sioner Williamson could arbitrarily re-
verse the first decision of the secretary
of the interior. The nine supreme
court COrruptionists lodged this point in
the interest of the public land thieves.
In pretending TO arbitrarily reverse the
final and vested judgment of the secre-
tary of the interior, Commissioner
Williamson committed infamous crime
in the interest of these high-tOned
public land thieves. Settlers, you
are now asked to submit to
this outrageous crime. Don't do
it. Only contemplate towards

from public land as trespassers by an

meeting assembled, without a rumpus,

rage TO be committed by Williamson in
arbitrarily surveying public land in the
Maxwell grant, then by all means let Us
